Definitions
- the invention relates to a self-supporting body for a vehicle according to the preamble of patent claim 1.
- a generic body is known from DE 4445 327-C1 (B62D25 / 08).
- a special configuration of sheet metal pressed parts in the rear area of vehicles achieves high torsional rigidity in that a hollow profile frame is produced in the area of a parcel shelf by assembling sheet metal profile parts.
- the object of the invention is to further improve the torsional rigidity and / or the natural torsional frequencies in motor vehicles.
- an arrangement of two U-frames is therefore provided, which are arranged one behind the other in the longitudinal direction of the vehicle.
- the floor sections of these U-frames are assigned to a roof area or, as in the prior art, to a floor area of the body.
- the cheek sections extend from the floor area into vertical pillars (in particular so-called C and / or D pillars) and extend at least to the roof area or, in the case of a floor section of the U-frame arranged in the roof area, into the floor area inside.
- the measure proposed here brings a significant increase in torsional rigidity with relatively little material because the columns included in the so-called stiffening ring or stiffening frame are already designed as high profile support parts. Only in the transition areas from the pillars to the wheel arch liners are pressed sheet metal parts to be added. In this way, a power flow from the roof line to the floor area can be established.
- a particular stiffening effect is additionally achieved, however, by the fact that the U-frame, which itself brings about a notable increase in rigidity, is still connected to one another, so that their rotatability with respect to one another is also restricted.
- connection of at least two U-frames can either be made by directly bringing the cheek sections together or can be achieved by means of a flat side wall part that is attached to the U-frame by means of a joining technique.
- a side wall part can, for example, be a side window that is already used in motor vehicle construction and is attached to the body by means of adhesive. The disc thus contributes to the fact that the relative rotatability of the U-frames is restricted to one another.
- a major advantage of the invention is the fact that the pressed sheet metal parts to be additionally introduced can be arranged without sacrificing comfort (for example through-loading width, spaciousness for occupants etc.) compared to conventional bodies. All of these measures can namely be hidden under conventional cladding elements, so that the stiffening measures as such cannot be perceived from the outside by the vehicle occupants and therefore do not represent any visual impairment.
- the torsional natural frequencies of the body are also favorably influenced by the invention.
- FIG. 2 shows a second embodiment of the invention
- FIG. 3 shows a detail from FIG. 2 in another perspective
- FIG. 4 shows a third embodiment
- FIG. 5 shows a side wall interior specially prepared for the invention
- a self-supporting body designated overall by 1 the hollow profile support parts of which, for example, side members 2 and 3, A-pillars 4 and 5, B-pillars 6 and 7, C-pillars 8 and 9 or a roof cross member 10 made of sheet-metal pressed parts, if necessary also using the so-called tailored-blank and / or patchwork technique.
- the aforementioned hollow profile support parts are only mentioned here as examples. Understandably, a self-supporting body also includes other support elements, which are not shown here for reasons of clarity and are therefore not named further.
- the hollow profile support parts form sub-assemblies, which can be assembled from the individual sheet-metal pressed parts using a wide variety of joining techniques.
- the body 1 shown in FIG. 1 becomes particularly torsionally rigid by the measures described in more detail below.
- At least two U-frames 11 and 12 are arranged one behind the other in the vehicle longitudinal direction.
- Floor sections 11a, 12a are assigned to a floor area of the body 1 which is not further numbered here.
- Cheek sections 11b, 11c and 12b, 12c extend from the floor area of the body 1 into the C-pillars 8, 9 and extend to the roof (not shown here).
- the free ends of the cheek sections 11b, 11c and 12b, 12c are directly connected to each other.
- the cheek sections 11b and 12b or 11c and 12c span a stable triangle.
- the combination of the upper ends of the cheek sections 11b and 12b or 11c and 12c takes place here in the region of the roof cross member 10, specifically via here only schematically indicated nodes 13, 14.
- the roof cross member 10 is integrated into the support structure produced from the two U-frames 11, 12, so that there is even a completely closed profile here.
- the roof rack 10 thus also takes over the function of a roll bar, so to speak, and extends the U-frame 11, 12 into an O-frame.
- connection of the two U-frames 11, 12 takes place via a flat side wall part.
- this is expediently a window pane 15 glued into the bodywork.
- Window pane adhesions are known per se in the prior art and are therefore not described in more detail here.
- U-frames are important, which are designed in the manner of a continuous beam. From the view shown in Figure 3 it can be seen that such a continuous beam is achieved by the targeted attachment of top sheet metal parts.
- a rear vehicle cross member 16 this is an integral part of the U-frame 11
- one Wheel arch liner 17 as an attached sheet metal pressed part
- an angular profile 18 is provided which preferably opens directly into the C pillars 8, 9 (see FIG. 1) or B pillars 6, 7 (see FIG. 2) via a wheel arch arch profile 19.
- the comfort dimensions within the body are in no way impaired, because in the sections shown in the drawing, cavities are generally to be found anyway underneath cladding parts.
- the B-pillars 6,7 or C-pillars 8,9 can additionally be stiffened in themselves by welded / glued-in installation profiles or sheet metal reinforcements, for example to ensure a good flow of force towards the wheel arch profile 19.
- Top sheet metal pressed parts that are laid into the interior of the body can also be formed, for example, in the manner of a loading edge sheet, as is shown by way of example in FIG. 1 for the base area 12a.
- a similar effect can, however, also be achieved by press-fit sheet metal parts 20, 21 which are placed on a rear end plate 22 in the manner shown in FIG. This creates outward elevations that can be effectively covered by bumpers.
- the top-part pressing parts 20, 21 can also be prepared for fastening the bumpers, which are not shown here.
- the top sheet metal pressed parts 20, 21 open into the rear light areas 23, 24, which here are also small parts as an integral part of the U-frame 12 and thus do not represent a significant weak point.
- An interruption of the frame construction can be accepted in individual cases, in particular in the case of body structures with U profiles closed on the roof.
- the weight advantage resulting from the gap is to be rated much higher for individual vehicle concepts than the increase in stiffness that may be gained by closing the gap.
- the reduction in stiffness due to the gap may, if desired, e.g. B. by local material reinforcements (use of high-strength materials, thicker sheets or the like in the area of the gap).
- FIG. 5 shows a side wall inner part 25 that here is essentially formed from a three-field circuit board in tailored blank technology.
- the fields 25.1 and 25.2 have, for example, a sheet thickness of 1.2-2.0 mm.
- the thin sheet field 25.3 in between is only 0.75-1.00 mm thick.
- FIG. 5 also makes it clear that the integration of the side inner wall part 25 as an integral part in the U-frame 11 and 12 means that no additional weight is required, especially for large-area pressed parts.
- FIG. 6 shows a roof cross member 10a, which is preferably constructed in the form of a roof bow and which, together with the C-pillars 8, 9, forms a U frame 11 ′ projecting from the head.
- a comparable configuration can additionally or alternatively also be generated with the A-pillars 4 and 5, the B-pillars 6 and 7 and with the D-pillars 26 and 27 typical of combination vehicles.
- These U-frames can also be expanded to O-frames by connecting them to floor cross members. In this case, the connection of the U-frames to one another, which is essential to the invention, could take place, for example, via door sills 28.
- a significant advantage of the invention can also be seen in the fact that it is not necessary to provide a pure steel construction.
- Individual sections of the U-frame can also be formed by lightweight materials such as aluminum or magnesium alloys. It is also conceivable to use node elements which are produced by casting techniques or hydroforming.
